Getting outlook connector to work on JES

I’m trying to play with the latest JES/Outlook connector combo. It seems to have come a long way since the last time I tried it, but I’m still having some problems. When I start Outlook, it prompts me to log into the addressbook. I enter the correct password, but it just reprompts me until I eventually just hit cancel. Here is the solution:


I installed JES 2005q4 on a test system, per http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1480.1 to install it all one one system.

I set up the outlook connector (7.1.222.4 – the one that comes on the jes 2005q4 cd’s) to point at this, and most of what I have tested works pretty well. But… The addressbook functionality isn’t working. The symptoms/logs I’m seeing are:

- When I start Outlook, it prompts me to log into the addressbook. I enter the correct password, but it just reprompts me until I eventually just hit cancel.

- On the Web server, I see the access in the access logs:
- – [09/Dec/2005:11:15:41 -0500] “POST /uwc/wabp/login.wabp?now=1134148064 HTTP/1.1″ 200 184

- I see the following in the uwc logs (/opt/SUNWuwc/data/logs/uwc.logs):
Dec 9, 2005 11:17:44 AM com.sun.uwc.common.auth.IdentitySSOAuthFilter doFilter
FINE: uid… jdoedomain…example.com

FINE: 1. session is not present.. get token manager..

FINE: Check If Identity is enabled
Dec 9, 2005 11:17:44 AM com.sun.uwc.common.auth.LDAPAuthFilter doFilter
FINE: Identity is enabled….return
Dec 9, 2005 11:17:44 AM com.sun.uwc.abclient.ABInitFilter doFilter
WARNING: Session is not created, user not authenticated!!

If I log into uwc, everything seems to work there correctly – I can see the addressbook, create entries, etc. Any ideas where I went wrong or where else I should look?

Answer.
You need to follow these steps:

Access Manager domain service configuration

Following steps are required to be completed manually in Access Manager for Access Manager domain service configuration
Steps:
add-
– Authentication Configuration
– Core
– Ldap

* Go to Authentication Configuration–>New–>(Give some meaningful name)–>select added services
o Authentication Configuration –> Edit –> in edit mode ‘Add..’ module –> Select LDAP as module name –> OK –> Submit.
o Core –> Select added Ldap service in following drop down boxes –>
+ Administrative Authentication Configuration
+ Organization Authentication Configuration
+ Click Save

Restart UWC webcontainer.

In case your Base DN is similar to ou=people,o=domain.com, o=isp , you need to this to the domain.com as well. See the link below

Also, I believe similar steps to the above are given in the technical document you reference, under the category ‘To add services to the lower level organization.’

http://docs.sun.com/source/819-4879/index.html#wp35351

I believe the end result is the same. This will be necessary in order for the OC to be able to login to the AB Server.
